As soon as they heard Zhou Hongyan's arrogant words, the faces of the queen and the virtuous concubine sank. Even if you don't interpret it from the general direction of insulting the royal family, just daring to scold and shout at Zhou Hongyan in front of the princess is equivalent to slapping the queen who takes care of Xu Ruru in the face, not to mention that they are still standing in front of Zhang Yuge, the third princess, and making noise.

In this way, how did the Duchess, who was an old friend of the Empress, get off the stage, the Duchess authorities were also a little panicked, and gently pulled Zhou Hongyan's hand.

"Yan'er, don't be rude to the princess."

This is because I remembered that things were getting bigger, and there was a difference between respect and inferiority, Su Jiao and Xu Ruru both sneered in their hearts, but Zhang Yuge below was very calm.

"Mother~" But Zhou Hongyan didn't seem to realize what she was wrong, and she still held the Duchess's hand vigorously, not reluctantly.

Mrs. Lin next to her looked very tired, and then inadvertently glanced over, and saw the queen and concubine standing side by side next to the pillar, and suddenly frightened her spine for a while, and hurried over to help persuade her.

"Duchess, this is just a small fight between villains, why make such a fuss, the queen mother over there has already come, why don't you turn a big thing into a small thing, and a small thing into nothing?"

As soon as she heard this, the Duchess of Pingcheng also felt that something was wrong, and quietly let go of Zhou Hongyan's hand, and was about to explain a few words to the queen regardless of the past, and then realized that it was too easy for people to look down on him by doing this, so he stood still for the time being, and bowed politely to the three people in front of him.

"That being the case, then today's incident can be regarded as a misunderstanding, and I hope Mrs. Xiao doesn't mind, the princess and the third princess forgive their sins, and the courtiers will leave first." Saying that, the Duchess planned to leave with dignity, but Zhou Hongyan was still stubborn and refused to move, and she had to shut her mouth until she was pulled around by the Duchess.

Mrs. Lin saw that the matter was finally over, and she also saluted, and then took her leave. Su Jiao nodded to Xu Ruru, and then turned her head to look ahead, the duchess walked beside the queen with a smile to say hello, and the queen only smiled reluctantly and agreed a few times.

Then, I don't know what they said, so I slowly walked away. But after today's incident, I didn't take the duchess to heart before coming to the queen, and it can be regarded as a bond.

Thinking about it, Su Jiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she had to deal with several ladies before, and these people involved today are all high-level talents, and it is really a bit of effort to be able to retreat with all your body.

Xu Ruru also came back to her senses, looked at Su Jiao with an awkward face and said slightly, "Today's matter, thank you for relieving the siege of this princess." ”

Su Jiao was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and waved her hand, "The princess doesn't have to be so polite, like the princess, she is not afraid of power, and she has the courage to seek justice for herself, there are few people in this world." ”

"Hmm," Xu Ruru blinked, Xu had never heard of anyone complimenting her with such words, so that she felt quite fresh at first glance, she turned her head arrogantly, and her hands were loosely inserted on her waist.

"Don't think that if you praise this princess, this princess will like you, this princess is devoted to my third brother, and she will definitely be inseparable from you."

"The princess has the blessing of Her Majesty and the Queen's mother, so why should she be in the same power as our courtiers." Su Jiao pursed her mouth, and she clearly saw Xu Ruru's knife mouth tofu heart, so she didn't care much about her unconvincing words.

"Hmph, it's good that you know." Xu Ruru choked her, put down her hand and turned around embarrassedly, "Don't forget to come over for a while, this princess doesn't want to see Zhou Hongyan again." ”

"Yes." Su Jiao was very helpless, just like acting with a child, she reluctantly agreed, and Zhang Yuge also opened her mouth at this time, "The princess is straightforward and cute, not an annoying person." ”

"As Mrs. Xiao said, there are really few people in this world who have a character like a princess."

When Su Jiao heard this, she was afraid that she would be in bad spirits, thinking of something messy, she sighed in her heart, sat down and patted her shoulder gently.

"You don't want to be cranky because things are not happy in the past, it's naturally good to say something, but it's also important for someone like you who knows how to advance and retreat and know how to measure."

"Mrs. Xiao, please rest assured, people have experienced some things, and they all have to improve, and I will definitely not let myself go to that desperate situation again."

Zhang Yuge smiled slightly, his tone was soft and firm, and slowly pulled Su Jiao's hand down. Su Jiao looked at her with a completely different look in her eyes, although she was a little uncomfortable, but this slightly sharp feeling might be more protective of her.

"That'll be fine."

Subsequently, Su Jiao said a few more words to Zhang Yuge, and was repeatedly urged by him to come over.

Just after such a long farce is over, the real theme of this banquet should also begin.

With the support of the old eunuch Dequan, the emperor came to his dragon chair and sat down beside him, one on the left and one on the right, respectively the queen and the virtuous concubine.

The ministers and their respective officials sat separately, and a small screen half a person high was placed in front of each seat, which did not block the view of each person watching the performance, and also avoided the back and forth of people on both sides of the main hall.

Then, with the shout of the old eunuch Dequan, the envoy of the small country, Yuyounosuke, took the lead, and led Inoue River to change into a particularly formal official uniform of a small country official and slowly walked to the center of the main hall.

"Foreign Minister Yunosuke/Inoue River, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Osawa Dynasty, and wish His Majesty the Emperor a long and blessed life."

There are not many people in the entire hall who have heard of Yunosuke's name, so when I saw it for the first time today, Yunosuke had just reported his name, and many people couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.

Although the voice of the school flower was small, it still caught one or two sounds, and Yunosuke was full of doubts, not knowing what they were laughing at, after all, his surname could be regarded as a famous nobleman in the Wa Kingdom.

And the emperor actually couldn't help laughing, but he didn't want his orange to be embarrassed in front of the foreign envoys, so he set an example and coughed lightly to silence everyone.

"After I go back, I will say hello to the king of your Wa Kingdom on behalf of me, you have such an awareness and decided to submit to my Daze Dynasty, it is really a wise move, please take a seat, all the envoys."

"Yes." Younosuke agreed, and several envoys returned to their seats one after another, and the old eunuch Dequan said the word "banquet" in a high-pitched voice, and then there was a team of beautiful dancers dressed in the prosperous world, waving the flying sky on their bodies and walking slowly.

In ancient times, there were not many kinds of entertainment activities in total, and the pace of progress was constrained by a series of rules such as royal atmosphere and elegance, and the so-called court dance was really not worth mentioning compared with the wild roads outside.

However, there are also the word royal on it, so the ministers present have already seen it in time, and they have to show an extremely interesting appearance, toasting and cheering each other, and I don't know what kind of evaluation this dance will be in the eyes of foreign envoys like Yunosuke.

Su Jiao was very disgusted to look at these dancers with such regular dance steps, and struggled to hold back the feeling of wanting to complain, just wanted to stare at the patterns on the screen in front of her and watch it carefully, so as to pass the time, but saw Xu Ruru next to her holding her chin with one hand, and opened her mouth impatiently.

"What kind of dance are these, every banquet is these songs, I am tired of listening to them, and I don't know how to change something fresh when foreign envoys come over, it's really embarrassing."

Hearing this, Su Jiao showed that she hadn't heard anything, and quietly turned her head: Little princess, can you not tell the truth so much.

Soon, a song ended, and the dancers retreated, and the emperor couldn't even ask how the dance was, just by looking at the confusion on Yunosuke's face, you could get a glimpse of it.

Yunosuke came back to his senses, sorted out his expression, and then took the initiative to stand up, "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty the Emperor, this dance is very interesting to watch." The foreign minister came all the way and brought the best woman in our country who is good at singing and dancing,"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the entire hall had some different strange reactions, even Xiao Huai'an on the opposite side was a little more nervous and concerned, and Xu Ruru beside him also snorted coldly, but Su Jiao was very puzzled why they reacted so much.

"This woman's name is Xia Shu, she is the daughter of the second king of our country, the lord of Peony County, although she is not as delicate as the woman of the Daze Dynasty, she can be regarded as a small jasper, and I also hope that Your Majesty will not dislike it."

As soon as these words came out, she Su Jiao immediately understood, but she felt even more speechless: Sending people over at the beginning of this banquet is too unreserved.

Although the losing side of the war between the two countries will inevitably send some tribute, such as gold, silver, precious stones, or beautiful land, this banquet is only a reconciliation between the two parties, and there should be no need to be so polite.

Moreover, the emperor is getting older, and he is not a person who likes to indulge in lust, if he wants to ask him to accept it, it is because he reluctantly agrees for the friendship between the two countries, and the queen and the virtuous concubine will not tolerate it easily.

So the next question is which prince should this woman give to from the two federations.

After hearing this, the emperor cleared his throat, looked at Yunosuke below with a sincere face, and didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong, and said with his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Lord You's intentions, as well as the sincerity of Your Majesty, I understand it for the time being, but I am old, and I really don't want to accept new show girls into the palace, but I have a few sons who are at the right age to get married, so why don't I be the matchmaker and arrange a marriage for this Peony County Lord, how about it?"

"In that case, then thank Your Majesty Daze for bothering, then I don't know who Your Majesty plans to marry the county lord to?" Yunosuke didn't have any strength to entangle to the end, but his consent made the two princes present feel their scalps tight.
